I wasn't really paying attention, but next thing I know, my dad is DYING laughing. He had it recorded, and he put it on replay over and over again! Also, the delay wasn't there, so we heard him say "f it!" In all its glory. Great times.

We could be 8-2 right now. I think without the loss to Ole Miss or Iowa State, also a close game, we would be top 20.

    So much fun to watch! I pray college football is back this year. I kinda rely on it for my mental well-being! 🤪
